#8. Answer to Quora Query.
#Has Netanyahu squandered the support given following Hamas' attack on 7 October? Has he snatched defeat from the jaws of victory?
#Answer by Yair Davidiy.
Bible Studies and Historical Researches
# I disagree with PM Netanyahu on many points. In some ways he is a closet liberal like one of his ideological forebears, Zev Jabotinskly (1880 - 1940), was. Nevertheless, unlike his opponents, Netanyah usually knows what he is doing. The political commentator and former MK, Chaim Rimon, once remarked: 'Netanyah plays # chess while all the others play checkers.' It is not only a matter of terminating Hamas ASAP. We also have to neutralize and hopefully eliminate Hizbullah, cripple Iran if possible, maintain the West Bank intact, keep Turkey at bay, and deal with the harmful intent of Syria, Yemen, and other entities along with the devious
# nefarious machinations of Russia. There are numerous other complications. If anyone can get the job done Netanyahu is the one. Like him or not in this case he seems the best candidate to do what is needed. And he has the means.
We may now look back and see how many of the above-listed goals have already been dealt with.
Out of the challenges listed above that Netanyahu faced he has dealt with most of them quite well, OR in some cases the Hand of Divine Providence has done it for him!
Israel is in the process (God willing) of terminating Hamas which is already severely impaired.
Iran has been crippled quite well though more of the same would be welcome.
The West Bank has been kept under control and Israeli rulership over the area even stabilized to a great degree.
The Hizbullah has seen nearly all of its leadership wounded or dead and seems to be no longer actively involved in hostilities against Israel.
Turkey did not intervene though it still being noises now and against as if it would like to do so.
Syria under Assad no longer exists. Israel has forces in Syria itself who are forced to be there to protect the Druze community. This may well be tot he advantage of Israel.
Yemen under the Houthis has been severally punished but is still a menace. It may need to be invaded which could be a pity but we shall see.
The whole world is now turning against us due to incessant propaganda lamenting the alleged misfortunes of "starving" children and the like in Gaza.
Enormous suns of money from Arab entities such as Qatar is succeeding in turn part of the world against Israel.
This however has always been the case. Many Gentiles prefer dead Jews to live ones.

The Gaza Hostage War.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrf4tPcKEG0
Duration: 24.42 minutes.
CC (Closed Captioning - must be opened by the viewer) Captions Edited. On 7 October 2023, Hamas-led militant groups launched a surprise attack on Israel, in which 1,195 Israelis and foreign nationals, including 815 civilians, were killed, and 251 taken hostage with the stated goal of forcing Israel to release Palestinian prisoners.
About 50 of the captives are probably still alive and still remain captive. Hamas does not want to to release them.
Continuation of the war and publicizing the real suffering of the people of Gaza is what Hamas wants.
They hope it will further the cause of the Palestinians and bring about the intervention of foreign powers.

"Apology Not Enough": Gaza Activist Calls for Hamas to Be Erased, Calls Oct. 7 A 'Sin' And 'Miscalculated Step'
August 13, 2025
https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/israel-news/2437516/apology-not-enough-gaza-activist-calls-for-hamas-to-be-erased-calls-oct-7-a-sin-and-miscalculated-step.html
Extracts:
In a rare and blistering public rebuke from within Gaza, political activist and former Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) official Jamil Abdul-Nabi has called for Hamas to disband, holding the group directly responsible for 'the destruction of our people' following its October 7 attack on Israel. Speaking to Saudi Arabia's Al-Arabiya Network, Abdul-Nabi said Hamas has failed in resistance, governance, and war , and must 'pay for its sins' by disappearing from the Palestinian political scene altogether.
Abdul-Nabi, who spent a year in an Israeli prison cell with senior Hamas figure Ghazi Hamad, painted a grim picture of public sentiment in Gaza.
Hamas's rhetoric, he added, has become 'a joke' among Gazans. 'Every statement by Hamas leaders turns into joke material here. Their insistence on doubling down makes us feel that our tears mean nothing to this movement. We are zero to them.'
When asked directly if the October 7 attack was a sin, Abdul-Nabi said: 'Absolutely. Resistance should not be driven by emotions. It should not be impulsive or vengefu. Reckless resistance can lead us to disaster, and this is what happened on October 7.'
He accused Hamas of acting without clear political goals, resulting in catastrophic consequences for ordinary Palestinians. 'They took this miscalculated step, which led to the destruction of our people. At the very least, you should make us feel that it has some regrets.'
.Apology is not enough. Hamas needs to bear the responsibility and pay for its sin. The price cannot be anything less than the disappearance of Hamas from the Palestinian scene. Hamas needs to declare that it is disbanding..
Abdul-Nabi reserved particular criticism for Ghazi Hamad.s past comments that .even if they kill 10,000, 20,000, or 100,000 of us,. the fight would continue. .What is this? How can he be so cavalier when talking about people.s lives? Is he talking about a handful of dollars?.
Note:
The above opinion is that the actions of Hamas did not achieve the hoped for present but instead caused suffering to the peoples of Gaza.
This probably reflects the attitude of Saudia. They do not necessarily disagree with the aims of Hamas only with the means used to acheive them.
